here's the (WIP) explanation:

This is a small social space for friends of mine (and friends-of-friends) to hang out and chat about things, and provide accountability for projects and goals.

It’s wesleyac.zulipchat.com because I’m thinking about it sort of like the online equivalent of a house party — it’s not a club or group focused on a specific topic, but a gathering of people i think are cool and would enjoy chatting with each other.

You’re welcome to talk about whatever topics you’re interested in — there are streams for subjects that interest me, and you can make a topic in #consciousness with your name as the title to talk about anything you want. And if there’s a topic you want to talk about, but no good stream for it, let me know and I’ll make one — I love hearing about things people I care about are interested in :)

I have a few plans for events/etc I’d like to run here:

  • A writing accountability group (maybe writing something weekly, and giving each other reviews on it)
  • Monthly checkin groups
  • Maybe reading clubs of various sorts? I have lots of ideas about how to make book/reading clubs work better that I’m interested in trying out :)

if you want to keep in touch with your friends who use zoom, but don't want to install any spyware on your computer, i made a little bookmarklet to enable using the web client with any meeting - you can get it over here: https://hack.wesleyac.com/zoom.html

if you could know one boolean fact about every person you meet, what fact would you choose?

@blinry at least some of the problem was the desktop app (apparently version 1.29.3 just doesn't send messages on my system?). i'm still on the lookout for more problems, but hopefully updating will have fixed things.

upcoming travel
hi friends!

i'm going to be in montréal this saturday and sunday the 18th and 19th for https://synchrony.nyc/, and then in san francisco the 26th through the 31st for work crap.

if you will also be in one of those places during one of those times and would like to hang out, i would probably also like to do that! send me a message and we can set something up <3

it's funny that i can tell when someone i'm sending signal messages to is on the subway, just by the delays in getting the receipt notification. i wonder if you can combine that with mta data to figure out which train someone is on?

@pushcx Thanks for the note - I've read most of the ICANN documentation at this point, and yeah it seems pretty well defined. Do you know how different contracts with different registries tend to be? I'm curious if most of them have a similar model to .com and .net where it's just a per domain-year registration fee and a transfer fee, or if many registries have a fixed fee to even be in the contract, etc - I haven't seen the actual text of any contracts other than the Verisign ones.

I found what I think is a bug in my thinkpad's physical display - anyone know what's going on here? https://hack.wesleyac.com/strange.html

Time also seems to be rich in phenomena illustrating how illusory and artificial are some of our perceptions of reality. There are so many things we perceive as “natural” and “existing” which, if examined very objectively, turn out to be surprisingly elaborate artificial conventions of our making.

@pushcx I think that the behavior depends on how your instance is configured - some are set up to go back through people's profiles when you follow them and add posts to their copy of the database, some aren't - the UX around it is really bad :/

Maybe it'll show up in a bit, once octodon.social has had time to go through and collect my old posts? I'm not sure how Mastodon is usually configured.

There's no blocking between us, I'm running a pretty default Pleroma instance.
